No. 4: Carol's Daughter Black Vanilla Leave-In Conditioner, $12 TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 5.5*
Why: "The vanilla in this product made it smell tasty, but the texture was a sticky, oily mess," one reader says. "Most of the ingredients in this concoction are natural -- lavender, nettles, vanilla. But that did not save it from wreaking havoc on my hair," says one woman. "I used it on both dry and wet hair with disastrous results. It was as if my hair had been coated in starch, leaving it dry and unmanageable."

It's a shame to see some of these products in this list, but they belong there. There was a time--years ago--when I would walk a mile during my lunch hour to an exclusive salon to purchase Nexxus' "Keraphix." It was Heavenly then and kept my hair vibrant and shiny. Unfortunately, all of the formulas have been revamped for the worse.

I actually think V05 is worth the $1 and i don't think it's nearly as bad as the reviewer said it was, Although it doesn't do much for moisturizing your hair and the smell is nice though. I do like the suave though.
